Mayor Gray Issues Executive Order Freezing Spending

The freeze applies to supplies, materials, contractual services, subsidies and equipment. Salary and other personnel costs are not affected.

Mayor Vincent Gray issued an executive order to freeze spending to offset "unanticipated expenses" in some agencies and to ensure a balanced budget.

Independent government entities like the Council of the District of Columbia, the Office of the Chief Financial Officer and the D.C. Public Library are not covered by the order.
